ECOLOGY AND THE GATTOPARDO B&B

The B&B "Al Gattopardo" adopts an innovative philosophy to safeguard the environment, without sacrificing comfort, and aimed at satisfying the various needs of eco-sustainable tourism and making your eco-stay even safer, more comfortable and relaxing.


It is necessary to choose to adopt behaviors that do not damage the environment, including holidays, and for this reason a commitment is needed to apply, in daily management, small but effective initiatives aimed at reducing consumption, the use of eco-compatible technologies and the use of of alternative energy sources.


It is necessary to promote, but also satisfy, a type of responsible tourism, involving guests in ecological choices, for example by inviting them to adopt, during their stay in the hotel, simple but important measures in defense of the environmental heritage.


Supporting initiatives that aim to promote and understand the traditions, culture and history of the area in which we live or where we are staying for vacation or work is a significant added value.

ORGANIC FOOD & BEVERAGE

Biological agriculture

At least 95% of the raw materials used for breakfast come from organic and biodynamic agriculture (which certifies the absence of chemical pesticides). We use some Km0 and fair trade products.

Fresh products

Where possible, we select local raw materials, fresh and in season.

Selected breakfast

For breakfast, on request, we have products for celiacs (gluten free).

Ecological Paper

Disposable napkins are PEFC, FSC or Ecolabel certified, brands that guarantee responsible management of forests, respecting the economic and social system.

CLEANING AND HYGIENE

No allergens and dust mites

We use vacuum cleaners with hypoallergenic filters that retain up to 90% of fine dust and purify the air. For the cleaning and sanitization of common spaces and environments such as breakfast room and kitchen, we use a machine with steam at 100 degrees C. For cleaning some surfaces (e.g. glass, mirrors, etc.), we use a special cloth with water lukewarm, which does not require the use of any detergent.

WATER SAVING

We installed 100% flow reducers on the taps of the sink, bidet and shower. Inside the bathrooms there is an eco-adhesive that invites guests to use the towels more responsibly, asking to put only what you want changed in the sink.

As for the regulations for 3 * hotels, bed linen is changed at least 3 times a week. For longer stays, contribute to a more responsible use of the linen by placing the appropriate card on the bed to communicate the desire to continue using it.

We water the garden at sunset and early in the morning. We have 2 class A ++ washing machines: for each washing cycle, they save up to a maximum of 35% of water compared to other similar models on the market.
